In plain words
The fear of sin is gone; wrongdoing has become the custom on earth; Bhakti for the Lord of Śrī is gone; deeds too dreadful to describe have come upon the world. That refuge of all who live in austerity, the Lord of Śrī: thinking on His Name alone brings happiness, O man!
Embodiments of Prema! This Prakṛti, which in daily life makes us undergo births and deaths, is itself the true deity of life. This world deludes every human being. In it, what counts most is matter. This world is nothing but a coming together of material things. In the end, what deludes man is material things alone. They are impermanent and untrue. ‘Yad dṛśyaṃ tan naśyam.’ Everything the eye sees is bound to perish! How can such unsteady things bring true Śānti and lasting Ānanda to life?
The principle of Parabrahman has no form. “Ahaṃ etat na”: this itself is the sūtra of Jñāna that is the root and base of the world. For the word ‘ahaṃ’, the Veda has given the meaning ‘Ātma’. What does “Ahaṃ etat na” mean? “This is not I.” This unsteady, untrue body is not ‘I’. In this world we see so many things. We take them, wrongly, to be true and eternal. This is a great mistake. All the sights our eyes see will vanish some day or other. The very eyes that see this unsteady world see our body too. So this body too, being made up of what is seen, is impermanent! Is it not a mistake to think that such an impermanent body is permanent?
